When I got into the C208B (finally) for my cargo company, I noticed a small left rolling tendency which I fixed with a SMALL adjustment to the aileron trim in the plane. Since doing that, I haven’t had to set it again so apparently the trim setting carries over from one flight to the next?

Which is weird because in coordinated flight, the relative wind is always right on the nose.

Yes but the turbulence is not isotropic, so the effect to the AP ability to hold steady may be different.

I misspoke. What I was TRYING to say was the severity of the Dutch Roll depended on the prevailing wind’s relative bearing. A wind 7 degrees off your intended course gave you a much different Dutch Roll severity than, say, a wind 15 degrees off your course.
